Campanula – better known as bellflower – is a cheerful cottage-garden classic that brings months of colour with very little fuss. Loved for its masses of starry, bell-shaped blooms in blues, purples, pinks and whites, it’s perfect for weaving through borders, softening edges, filling pots, and adding nectar-rich interest for bees and other pollinators. Most varieties are hardy and reliable, returning year after year, and they sit beautifully alongside roses, geraniums, salvias and ornamental grasses. Whether you’re after low, spreading ground cover or taller spires for height and movement, Campanula is a brilliant way to add easy, long-lasting charm to any garden.
